$4M of taxpayer money to rebuild a greyhound track where dogs have endured brutal deaths. Why is the Victorian Labor Government funding gambling & animal cruelty while greyhound rescue groups rely on volunteers?

Supreme Caesar was described as being "severely unwell" and was diagnosed with "severe exertional rhabdomyolysis and kidney damage due to lack of immediate treatment".
His death was snuck under the label 'illness/age,' avoiding requirements to report it as a track- or race-related injury.
Greyhound racing = vanishing worldwide:
✅ 2025 Wales announces ban
✅ 2024 NZ announces ban
✅ 2024 Mexico’s last track closes
✅ 2024 2 historic UK tracks shut
✅ 2020 Banned in Florida (only 2 tracks left in USA)
✅ 2016 Banned in Argentina
🚨 Australia? Still the largest greyhound racing industry.
Just over two months after celebrating Aotearoa New Zealand’s historic decision, Wales has now announced it too will end greyhound racing.
We know we have our work cut out for us here in Australia, but together, we’ll keep pushing — until greyhound racing is history here too.
First Aotearoa New Zealand, now Wales.
Who will be next?
Roses are red
Violets are me
I love you so much
Now handover your treats
🚨 $85M in public funds for greyhound racing while families struggle.
A new QLD track is set to open this year, complete with poker machines, while 18 dogs were killed & 1,700 injured last year. In Nov alone, 7 doping cases.
More breeding. More suffering. More discarded dogs. Public money, wasted.
